Chameleon Diet Changing??? What to do?

[LtGoreWrath]

I have a 2 year old veiled chameleon. And for the past week he hasn't been wanting to eat. His diet starting changing just this week. I did notice he was shedding around his mouth, (still is although almost done) Could that be the issue?
At first i had been feeding him super worms and then once i started giving him crickets he showed no interest in super worms. The only think i have seen him eat this week is only one cricket that i had caught and fed it to him. I have tried hand feeding him and yet he just closes his eyes or runs away.
I have a Exo-terra UVB bulb 10.0 26 Watts and a Basking Spot Bulb that is 75 watts. He usually likes laying down under his basking spot although im still a bit concerned about his diet.
The humidity level is usually from %65 to %80
Any Advice?

Maybe he's bored with his food. Have you considered trying other feeders like silkworms, hornworms, roaches, butterworms?

I have not, his main diet was crickets, superworms, and meal worms

I would try something different then. The fat that he went off superworms when you introduced crickets says to me that he might be holding out for something different.

Any other types that would be best?
Out of the ones you named which would be best?

Everything mentioned is good but you need to feed a little less of the butterworms (or I would any way) because they are fatty, but not as fatty as waxworms.

If you check out some of the site sponsors you should be able to get some shipped

Also using a variety all the time is good because it's less likely they will get bored. We try to feed something different every day and we usually have 3-5 different types of feeders.

With my veil I try to shoot for five different insects; crickets, superworms, butterworms, wax worms, and fruit flys. I'm thinking about maybe in the near future getting some dubia roaches, but with the memories of my first apartment I just can't do it yet.
